The EP Geremek European Civilization Chair

Thanks to the support of the European Union, and in particular the European Parliament, the College of Europe (Natolin (Warsaw) campus) has created the EP Geremek European Civilization Chair in the memory of Professor Bronisław Geremek †. Its focus will be on recent European history, and more particularly “Europe in the XXth century: from division to reunification”. This is in keeping with Professor Geremek’s personal history, with the role he played in Poland and in Europe both before and after the Fall of Communism.

The Chair will support a Chairholder and a Research Assistant. The Chair will provide a course on recent European history and, will engage in research leading to academic publications.

The Chair will organise, in association with the Geremek Foundation, a cycle of four high profile lectures in 2010-2011. The Chair will offer two post-doctoral research fellowships of a six-month duration. In the framework of the Chair ten scholarships intended for young graduates in history interested in taking part in the Natolin programme of European Interdisciplinary Studies will be offered. The Chair will also cover the acquisition of books and other documents relating to recent European history and to European civilization by the library of the Natolin (Warsaw) campus.
